My Favorite Books

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MY MOTHER
by Jamaica Kincaid

Jamaica Kincaid's concept of writing what pretty much boils down to a biography from her mother’s point of view is extremely clever. Not to mention that I’m envious of her poetic writing style.

 

JESUS' SON
by Denis Johnson

Denis Johnsons' writing style in Jesus' Son is tight and metaphorical, which I love. Whenever I have writer's block, I read this book for inspiration.
